Our situations are vary similar. I work in IT at Princeton University. Right now, I am technically fulltime, but I am using my accrued sick and vacation to take Wednesday off to rest. They have been very accommodating to my needs and schedule as well as the several episodes of disability this year.

Stats on the thymectomy look very good - 30% chance of remission lasting 5 years, 85% showing improvement and really no downside, no one gets worse.

Let me know if you decide on a thymectomy and which surgical approach they take.
